Europe in Autumn - Polish Family

Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 8:41 | Luxembourg | 2018

Europa im Herbst - Polska Rodzinka (Europe in Autumn - Polish family) is a short portrait of a tormented Poland, a tormented and conflicted Europe in 2018. Not only populists raise their brutal voices but also right extremists reappear in a very quick rhythm like in the 30s. This experimental short documentary is the result of a journey through Poland where several families co-exist and argue: our own family, the one of the anti-fascist and pro-European protesters, the one of the police, the one of the musicians... The last ones reinterpret old pre-Second World War songs, written by polish Jews, in which people dance and die. Europa im Herbst - Polska Rodzinka is a short merry-go-round ride of our stay in Poland and in Europe in the summer of 2018.
